Product Information

• Name: Phosphorus pentabromide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Phosphorus pentabromide is an alkanoic acid that has been used as a disinfectant and preservative. It also has various physiological activities, including antimicrobial activity, inhibition of lipid peroxidation, and inhibition of amyloid protein aggregation. The hydroxyl group on the carbon chain makes it soluble in water. Pyrimidine compounds are synthesized from phosphorus pentabromide by the reaction with carbon disulphide and hydrochloric acid, followed by treatment with sodium hypophosphite. As a halogen, phosphorus pentabromide can be substituted for chlorine or bromine. This drug is used to treat cholesterol esters transfer to proteins as well as malonic acid-induced oxidative stress in rats. In addition, it may inhibit the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles in diphenyl ethers or amides.
